Treadlette Tuesday: A Quick Christmas Skirt

Hi everyone, Elizabeth here! For today's Treadlette Tuesday, I wanted to share I project I recently made for my 7-year-old daughter.

Dressy clothes for kids are fun, but I don't like spending a ton of time (or cash!) on something that will only be worn a few times. This skirt was super quick and economical.


I used a half yard of our lovely new polyester taffeta to make this skirt. It was a bargain! My daughter chose the lace and buttons from my trim hoard. Altogether it took me 30 minutes and under $10 to make.

I didn't use a pattern; I just seamed the selvage edges together, folded the top for an elastic casing, and blind hemmed the bottom. If you would like to make this skirt from a pattern, New Look 6409 is very similar.

There's still time to make dressy holiday clothes! You can whip up something quick, too!

Just Another Walk In The Woods

We have an adorable new doll project panel! "Just Another Walk In The Woods" is inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel. Take a look at these sweet soft friends!


The panel includes two dolls, a bear, and a bunny, plus a quilt and pillow for them all to sleep softly under.


There are complete directions for sewing everything, so making this project is a breeze! Perfect for a quick-to-make gift!


Plus, we also have these coordinating prints! They would make a great quilt or an adorable "dress like your dolly" outfit.

Treadlette Tuesday: Dresses by Julia

Last week, Treadlette Julia made these adorable, matching dresses for a girl and her dolly!


Julia made the dresses for her local Christmas Adopt a Family program. One of the family members is a 7 year old girl who loves pink and purple. Julia saw this printed corduroy and knew it would be perfect! Plus, what girl wouldn't love to dress like her doll?

The pattern is Kwik Sew 221, a simple, sleeveless pullover dress. Julia made a few modifications, including replacing the velcro in the doll dress with a zipper. I think it looks great!

Lace Trims

Lace can perfectly complete a garment. You can always add a little extra touch, even if your pattern doesn't call for it! Take a look at our lovely new styles. (We've photographed them over a blue background to better show the details.)

First up, wide stretch laces. Pair stretch lace with knit fabrics - or even use for lingerie!



These non-stretch laces pair best with woven fabrics. From narrow cotton edgings to wide embroidered net, there are lots of laces for you to choose from!



Give your project the perfect finishing touch!

It's flannel pajama season! Whether you need to make quick and easy gifts for your loved ones, or just want to curl up and get cozy, you'll be happy and warm as toast in a fresh new pair of flannel PJs! These adorably stylish new prints are just the thing.


You're not limited to just jammies, though! These flannels would also be perfect for comfy soft quilts or whimsical shirts for kids or adults.

Treadlette Tuesday: Rebecca's Green Appliqued Hoodie

This week on Treadlette Tuesday, we're sharing this gorgeous hoodie made by Treadlette Rebecca.


Don't be fooled by the intricate embroidery - Rebecca actually used a clever and time saving applique technique using an embroidered net fabric! She cut around the embroidered motifs and machine-appliqued them to the wool, then trimmed away any excess netting. The result is stunning - and faster than doing all that embroidery yourself!


Stay tuned for more Treadlette Tuesday, every week! We'll be bringing you pattern reviews, projects to share, favorite fabrics, and so much more.
